«The Red Dean of Canterbury» is the biography of Hewlett Johnson written by John Butler, published by Scala Publishers in hardback (292 pages, in English).
Dean of Canterbury, Hewlett Johnson was known as the Red Dean for his advocacy of communism. The biography shows his attempt to reconcile the Anglican faith with the idea that communism was almost the kingdom of God on earth, and reflects the polarization it generated: praised by some, watched by MI5 and received by Stalin, Mao or Castro.
Hewlett Johnson was Dean of Canterbury from 1931 to 1963. Originally published in 2011, the work includes bibliographic references (pages 253-276) and an index.
For those interested in twentieth-century British history, the relationship between religion and politics, and biographies of controversial public figures.
John Butler, 2nd Marquess of Ormonde, KP was an Irish politician and peer. He was the son of James Butler, 1st Marquess of Ormonde and Grace Louisa Staples.
